Notes

Bach’s keyboard works known as the English Suites offer a series of dance movements which, despite their name, owe more to earlier French and German models. This is the first of two recordings of the complete English Suites arranged for two guitars by the distinguished Montenegrin Guitar Duo. Transcriptions of Bach for solo guitar have been popular since the nineteenth century and the emergence of the guitar duo extends still further the potential for exciting and revelatory performances.

Reviews

"... these are artistically and stylistically viabe readings that should stand the test of repetion very well. The recording, made in a church in Ontario under the watchful eyes and ears of Norbert Kraft and Bonnie Silver, is all could hope for. I will look forward of the follow-up disc for sure."

Raymond Tuttle - Fanfare - March/April 2016

"... This is the first recording of the Montenegrin duo, Goran Krìvokapic and Danijel Cerpvoc, and it is auspicious. These are fine transcriptions, brilliantly played. The faster movments are played with infectious rhythmic energy and joy. Ornaments sparkle like firecrackers, and some of the slower movements are simply ravishing - listen to the sarabande from the second suite and be awash in beauty!.."

Kenneth Keaton - American Record Guide - January/February 2016

Artistic Quality 9 Sound Quality 10

"...Strongly recommended."

David Vernier - Classics Today.com

The scintillating performances by Krivokapic and Cerovic [capture] the living spirit of Bach’s dance-inflected music without any fussiness, so that they seem as vital today as when Bach first wrote them"

Audio Phil Muse - Video Club of Atlanta - November 2015

"... both men play extremely well, and are quite naturally captured within the sonic picture ..."

Brian Wigman - Classical Net - November 2015

CD of the Week

"Though Bach spent his life within a remarkably limited geographical area, his knowledge of various contemporary baroque styles was indeed expansive. In arrangements of three of his six English Suites, originally written for keyboard, the Montenegrin Guitar Duo translates Bach’s mastery of encompassing several musical styles within a single work through a new, refreshing instrumental texture."
